Solved Is there a way to test if the Wii will boot without hooking up an LCD?

Basically the title. I want to eliminate any variables that might cause a black screen. Like, could I wire up an LED somehow that would work as the "Power" light?

I'm using the RVL PMS Lite, which I know has points for an LED, but I don't know if that's actually an indicator for if the Wii is working, or if it's solely a battery indicator light.

Seeing video output is really the only way to know if a Wii is actually booting. The LED on the RVL-PMS works solely as an indicator as to whether the PMS is turned on, it won't tell you whether the Wii is actually booting.

Ah, okay. Thank you.
